I was in Oakland last year for work for a month and it was just like your saying and I was blown away......fast forward to yesterday and I'm in PA for a month. I was tasked with visiting wet markets in down town Philly the last 3 days. This is a whole different kind of bad! Zombies walk the streets on Kensington during the day, Lehigh area looks like a landfill! I can't even continue to explain the conditions......there are no words!
Politics has everything to do with the cancer that is growing in our country!
I've heard the test is considered invalid if you've taken it more than once. Works different for nuke road warriors. It's supposed to tell if you're crazy enough to work there!I had to see the shrink after taking a MMPI. I had taken so many while I was on the road working at nuclear power plants that I flat lined it.
Supposedly you are above the line or below the line on certain questions. As long as you don't fall outside the line too many times, you are fine. Actually the line is two parallel lines set a certain distance apart.
I never even touched the lines which isn't supposed to happen. The shrink and I had a nice conversation and I was cleared to go. SUCKERS.
You have some good points with folks wanting the best of both worlds. "I want all the good stuff of my new state but I also want to bring some other things with me." Meaning, I want higher levels of service for police, fire, schools...which come at a cost. The local populations are good with the current levels of service and do not want tax increases, fair. But when some (I can't guess the percentage) hear they moved to an area where the fire department is volunteer and the police department closes down from 2 am to 6 am, they freak out.
Hard to disagree with that when it comes to our rights, such as the ones we value on this forum. There are politicians on every side that are not on our side.
That goes along the lines of, facts don't matter. Only what I think matters.
More, he's telling Californians, they can't be trusted. Hmm. Not too far off reality. The state that prides themselves on education and progressive thinking can't be trusted with the minimum self control 99% of gun owning Americans have.
They had the opportunity to get rid of him, they chose not to. Hard to empathize with that, they must like it.
The real function of the psych exams in this case is to create a legal barrier to getting the permit. The court has ruled that local governments cannot deny carry permits just because, but must issue them under given conditions. So the states make rules for the local governments that are so onerous as to have the same effect as denial.
It is in other locations as well. Late last year the LA County Sheriff (who was not reelected) passed the process of CCW's back to the individual cities. Some are apparently requiring Psych evals. The costs for permits are staggering, $700 - 1,000 for the initial permit, plus the class that can be upwards $250. calguns forum has threads on this. Good news it appears some are doing away with the need for this.
October will be 30 years for me. IMO, OR is worse than CA was back then.
93? probably so. There was a mac 11a1 in the gun store I bought my 10/22 in in '93 in central California. Got my SKS that year too with no BGC. Rifles required no BGC from private parties. By the time I was 14 in California I had 5 guns.
;-)) Have you both beat, 44 yrs. transplanted from Sacto to Portland, for me this August. But left Portland long before it too got crazy, or before it got too crazy, take your pick.
